'Followed C&D novice win with eighth in handicap; this is weaker; commands major respect'

'0-16 on Flat but went close on several occasions; big player if taking well to obstacles'

'Just shaken up to beat six rivals over C&D last month; should go well under a penalty'

'Tailed off on Flat last time but leading claims on winning hurdles form from the spring'

'Won point in April and fourth in big-field bumper but little promise so far over hurdles'

'Tailed off in Carlisle bumper last autumn and has had second wind operation since'

'Point winner; some promise in bumper but pulled up on hurdles debut; wind surgery since'

'Useful on Flat in his prime but regressive for current yard; risky on hurdling debut'

'0-9 in Irish points and hasn't achieved much in two runs under rules; hard to fancy'

'Modest form in bumpers, well beaten on stable debut last time; now goes hurdling'
